The best example of the indomitable British spirit! Stiff upper lip there, ol chap. A proud American saluting one of the best of the Brits!



British be buggered, The man was a kiwi






Ah a KIWI !! Explains why he had to CLIMB rather than FLY to the top !!!!!!!



Seriously tho' these days the media prefer sleazy 'celebrities' famous for being famous and making money rather than those who deserve to be 'Celebrated'.

It's sad that current Everest Climbers are causing damage and litter and leaving others to die on the slopes just to say they've 'done it'.

Sir Edmund must have been very disappointed.

If you do it today you MIGHT regret it. If you CAN'T do it tomorrow you WILL regret it.
